A Big Mortgage.

SAN Francisco, August 31.-The Central
Railroad company has filed document in
the recorders Office Which mortgages near
ly, if not all, the visible property of that
company. The property decided in trust
goes to secure the payment of the interest
and the principal of $1,000 $1,000
bonds redeemable fifty years from October
1886, and drawing 6 per cent. interest per
annum, payable semi-annually. The docu-
ment, as applicable to other sections of the
state, has been filed in five counties before it
was placed on record here, but public atten-
ton was not drawn to it. The main fact dis
closed is that SIC, OOO, 900 worth of bonds were
authorized to be issued in January, 1885, to
pay floating debts, bonds to run for thirty
years, and $4,000, 600 worth were issued in
October, 1885: $4,000 900 worth more were
authorized to be placed on the market, and
$5,OO0,OO0 worth issued to redeem outstand-
ing bonds of previous issue. Then
followed the agreement now on record to is
sue the 16, 600 bonds of the denomination of
$1,000 to mature fifty hears hence. 1t is
thought that the money is needed by the
company to complete projected roads.

warm Welcome for the Vets.

ST. Louis, September 3.-General D. P.
Grier, chairman of the local Grand Army
general executive committee and grand
marshal of the parade, in an interview this
evening made the following statement in
regard to certain phases of Grand Army
affairs: The people of ST.. Louis, without
regard to party, religion or color, are
prepared to welcome the comrades of the
Grand Army of the Republic with open
arms, and their welcome and entertainment
will be of the most cordial character. The
parade on the 9th will, he said, exceed in
numbers and imposing effects any that has
been seen since the war, and he character
lied the reports which have been set afloat
that obstacles will be thrown in the way to
make unpleasant scenes as simply false and
gotten up by irresponsible persons for un-
worthy ends. Every respectable citizen of
st. Louis will, he asserted, appoint himself
committee of one to see that each
comrade is not only made warmly welcome,
but that during his stay here he will be
treated as an honored guest of the city. This
feeling, he added, is not only entertained by
people generally, but by all the city officials,
from the mayor down.

Nothing New in the Fisheries Matter.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September 2.-Sec-
rotary Bayard said tonight that there was
nothing to add to what had already been
published concerning the latest phase of
the fisheries troubles. He had great reason
to hope that fair and final settlement would
be reached of the differences which had al
ways existed between this country and
Great Britain over the fisheries, in 1888, and
final settlement of which differences
had never been reached as yet. He de-
sired to correct the statement that Canada
objected to proposition on the part of
Great Britcin to treat regarding the differ
ences. The Canadian government was very
dcsirous that an amicable settlement should
be reached between the two countries re-
garding the fisheries. She desired that the
question should be finally laid at rest, and
on the part of the United States
he had met that desire with
great pleasure and good will. The secretary
smiled when reference was made to Mr..
Chamberlain refutation that he had been
appointed as reconciler of the differences,
and said that he should have the fullest lib
erty to effect compromise and he would
find the United States ready and willing to
do their part toward securing good feeling
between the two countries.

A GRATUITOUS INSULT.

A Snide Little Mexican Official at Paso del
.Norte Adds Insult to Injury by Striking
United States Consul Brigham.
WASHINGTON, D. c., September Ia tele-
gram was received to-day by Indian Com
missioner Atkins, from Indian Agent Cow
art. at Ell Paso, Tex, under date of August
81, and in it he states that he arrived there
several days ago to recover some horses
stolen from Indians of the Mescalero reser-
walton. The horses, he says, are held in
Paso Del Norte, Mexico, in custody of the
Judge of letters, Mr.. Tubio. After postpon-
ing the case upon one pretexr or another for
several days he promised to give me hear
ing yesterday. At the appointed hour, with
United States Consul Brigham, I appeared
at the court room, with witness, but Judge
Tubio did not come nor send any explana-
ton of his absence. We then went to his
residence to ascertain when we might expect
action. Nothing occurred that could be con.
strued as offensive but as we were leaving
and were on the street, Judge Tublo fol-
lowed us and struck Consul Brigham from
behind. The conduct of Judge Tubio has
been disrespectful throughout the case.
corroborate Consul Brigham's statement of
the matter sent to the state department

THE COMPANY PROTESTS.

President Harris, Of the Northern Pacific,
Insists that the Company Has Not vioIat-
ed the Law.
WASHINGTON, D. O., September 1.-The
secretary of the interior has received from
President Harris, of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, communication dated
August q, in which he states that he is adj
vised that Special Agent Frost, of the gen.
eral land Office, mas closed certain saw mills
which were manufacturing lumber cut from
public lands, for the construction of the
Cascade branch of that road, claiming that
the work now being done does not
come under the head of 'original
construction" as contemplated by
the law. President Harris states
that this timber is required for a tunnel now
i'm process of construction and for snow
sheds on the line now in operation, and that
it is clear that the company has the same
right to cut timber on the unsurveyed lands
He asks that Agent Frost be directed not to
interfere with the contracts. Others have
not been molested who are cutting timber
from lads adjacent to the line of the road.
President Harris letter was referred to
the commissioner of the general
land Office for report, In re-
Spouse to which Acting Commissioner
StOckSlager transmits d teleSrain !rom
Agent Frost, in which he states that the
agents of the Northern Pacific company
and number of saw mill companies are
rapidly devastating the public lands of their
valuable material without regard to law or
the rules and regulations of the land depart
ment, and unless at once put a stop to the
damage to the government will be irrepar-
able. The acting commissioner recommends
that the attorney general be requested to at
once take such steps as may be necessary to
fully protect the interests of the government.
Acting upon this suggestion Acting Secre-
tary Muldrow has requested the attorney
general to direct the United States attorney
for Washington territory to take prompt
action in the matter, having due regard to
the rights of the railroad company under

DEATH OF BISHOP HARRIS.
The Methodist Church Loses One of Its
Mainstays-A Brief Biography.

The Methodist Church Loses One of It's
Mainstays- Brief biography.
NKw York, September 2.-Bishop Harris
the New York resident bishop of the Meth
odist church, died this afternoon at five
minutes after 5 o'clock at his home. No. 50
East Eighty-First street. The bishop was
taken i'll with heart trouble month ago
VIXEN in Liverpool. He sailed Immediately
for New York, and has been under med
ical care since his arrival here. Dur
ing the last three days the bishop had
been unconscious. He died surrounded by
his family, consisting of his wife, his SOM
w. 81. Harris, and his daughter, Mrs. DIR.
Hatfield. A daughter, of Chicago, was the
one absent member of the family. He re-
manned unconscious to the last.
Bishop E. G. Andrews, now presid-
ing over the Methodist conference at Me-
chanicsburg, O., will probably preach the
expected to be held at st. Pauls church,
corner of Twenty second street and Fourth
avenue, on Thursday. A telegram was sent
to Bishop Andrews shortly after the death
occurred. Bishop Andrews and the deceased
were close friends. Both were or
damned as bishops at the same
time, in 1872. No arrangements have
yet been determined upon for the inter-
ment.
Bishop Harris was one of the pillars of
the Methodist church. He was born in
Mansfield, O., November 10, 1907. He re-
ceived a classical education at Norwalk SEM
mary. He began his career
as a minister in 1886: In
1848 he became the principal of Baldwin
university at Berea, Ohio. In 1851 he took
charge of the state university academic de-
partment at Delaware, Ohio. In 1860 he was
elected assistant secretary of the mission
airy society, which position he held until
chosen bishop in 1872. Bishop Harris was
an active abolitionist. In the time pre-.
ceeding the late war, he took
an active part in the discussion,
writing books, pamphlets, etc., on the sub
ject. He was particularly active in discus
sion at the time the Southern Methodists
seeded from the church on the ground of
disagreement on the slavery question. He
had circumnavigated the globe and visited
many lands in the interest of the missionary
work, which developed greatly after he be-
came bishop.
